2017年，我们庆祝了南非外科医生Christiaan Barnard于1967年12月3日在开普敦的Groote Schuur医院进行的第一例人类心脏移植手术50周年。这一大胆的手术和这位富有魅力的外科医生在全世界引起了公众的极大关注。世界媒体几乎每小时都在报道病人的病情。虽然病人路易斯·瓦尚斯基先生在18天后死亡，但巴纳德很快进行了第二次移植，这位病人过了近19个月的积极生活。值得注意的是，巴纳德的第五和第六名患者分别活了近13年和24年。巴纳德随后介绍了异位心脏移植手术，其中供体心脏作为辅助泵，在早期具有一些优势。进行第一次心脏移植手术需要巨大的勇气，这就是为什么巴纳德被认为是心脏外科的先驱。
In 2017, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first human heart transplant that had been carried out by the South African surgeon, Christiaan (‘Chris’) Barnard at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on December 3rd, 1967. The daring operation and the charismatic surgeon received immense public attention around the world. The patient’s progress was covered by the world’s media on an almost hourly basis. Although the patient, Mr. Louis Washansky, died after only 18 days, Barnard soon carried out a second transplant, and this patient led an active life for almost 19 months. Remarkably, Barnard’s fifth and sixth patients lived for almost 13 and 24 years, respectively. Barnard subsequently introduced the operation of heterotopic heart transplantation in which the donor heart acted as an auxiliary pump, with some advantages in that early era. It took great courage to carry out the first heart transplant, and this is why Barnard is remembered as a pioneer in cardiac surgery.
